In 2018, the Slovenian cultural and creative sectors again performed exceptionally well in the Creative Europe programme (2014–2020). In the fifth year of the EU programme implementation, Slovenian organisations from fields of culture, film and other creative sectors have exceeded the record values achieved in previous years: this year, Slovenian coordinators of Culture and MEDIA projects have been granted almost 5 million euros of EU support.

Slovenski kulturni in ustvarjalni sektor se je tudi v letu 2018 ponovno nadpovprečno odrezal na razpisih Ustvarjalne Evrope (2014–2020). V petem letu izvajanja tega programa EU domače organizacije s področja kulture, filma idr. ustvarjalnih sektorjev presegajo že dosežene rekorde iz prejšnjih let – slovenski vodje projektov Kultura in MEDIA so namreč letos skupaj pridobili skoraj 5 milijonov evrov podpore EU!

Čestitamo!
